[edit] Neutrality

The second paragraph of the article seems to be non-neutral against the actions of the military junta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.221.232.197 (talk) 15:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

the second paragraph only recounts the actions of the junta. it does not pass judgment on them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.218.12.140 (talk) 17:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

The paragraph simply states the fact, IMO. I was in Myanmar at the time of the repairs and it was controversial whether to repair ancient structures or not. It was suggested that the repairs should be done with advises from UNESCO experts but the government went ahead without significant archaeological protections to the repair works. It is no issue of dispute on this paragraph stating what actually happened. The editor also referenced to a valid, non political and neutral National Geographic article.[1] If there's no objections, I will remove the dispute tag. --Kyaw 2003 (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Why bother with disputes between two users that don't even care to sign their posts? In my opinion, unsigned comments should be perfunctorily deleted. --AVM (talk) 23:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
